An artistic classroom
2009 OPEN
ARCHITECTURE CHALLENGE CLASSROOM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION TEXT
The project
starts from the observation of the Italian school building landscape generally
disastrous as regards style, stability,
hygiene, comfort, economy etc. if an exception is made for rare examples of
innovation that do not even represent 1% of the national architectural school
heritage.
The context
of the project is the city and, in particular, a school of art, important
educational institution for the cultural and artistic history and the
"made in Italy" in economy.
The other
context is the Mediterranean urban and natural environment and the risks always
present in the territory owing to natural and human interventions.
The
searches of students and teachers involved in the competition gave rise to a
number of different possibilities and ideas and showed the need to satisfy the
following keywords:
-
Total
flexibility and modularity compatible with self-construction
-
Mobility
-
Sustainability
and ecology of materials and technologies
-
Energy
saving and self-sufficiency
-
Comfort
of the microclimate
-
Consistency
and innovation as regards the city and the types of school architectures.
-
Adaptability
to different situations (school, museum, square, public library)
-
Rigorous
but simple antiseismic precautions with self-isolation from the soil
-
Furniture
integrated with the structures and customized to make the space multiflexibile
-
Stylistic
innovation in compliance of the architectural, historical and natural
environment of the classroom that is independent, autonomous, replicable,
extensible and assemblable to any school and cultural building
-
Formal
synthesis of the history of architecture and technology without placing too
much importance on the latter.
The basic
self-supporting panel can be transformed according to use in wall, roof, work
surface, screen, solar panel etc. It is composed of beech uprights, floors and
furniture of different materials (glass, cork, wood, slate etc. ..) and can be
housed at any point in the frame of the classroom.
The panel
can be completed with a number of mobile accessories such as containers,
support bases, drawers, lighting elements, and is wired in the space between
the outer and inner panels.
The panel
can take a variety of sizes and assemblies according to the panel module 1.20
mt. forming the basis for the classroom module 6x6 mt. to configure different
forms of classroom with or without court and various bigger combinations of
several classrooms from 9x9 mt. to 36x36 mt.
The
aesthetic form and the adaptability to both the urban and the natural context
are obtained thanks to the transparency and thus the forms and actions that
take place inside, the specularity to the surrounding architectural facades and
the backlighted screens that project pictures, video messages and
advertisements to help maintain the classroom.
The
coverage, a paired shed with internal valley, contributes to energetic
autonomy.
The
traditional classroom versions, cubic or mobile may have a different
composition of the modules and the support on aluminum frames dedicated to
different functions.
As for the
furniture we chose to consider the maximum flexibility and maximum freedom of
stylistic choice subject only to the functional value of the panels mentioned
above.
The reference
to emergencies deriving from natural or man-made disasters designs the
classroom as demountable and
reassemblable elsewhere in a few hours (cube) in a few weeks (classic) or
transportable anywhere in real time as a mobile home for learning (mobile). In
this regard, see graphic sketches in table "Main board".
